Tomorrow Chris Hayes will interview a past associate of Romney

The commercial seems to allude to it being a "tell all" interview as if in he will confirm that Romney was in control in some form or another.

I don't know about this. If within 24 hours there was someone who was going to drop a bomb wouldn't the Romney campaign be parading their own list of people who would agree with Romney?

The interview is being played as big but I think that is advertising.

What do you all think?

I think the Romney campaign is waiting for it to air and then come out trying to smear the guy. MSNBC, even with its flaws, wouldn't set this up to get laughed at.

It just seems odd to not duck when you are about to be hit. But, we are talking about Romney.

He would not wait for someone to come out and need to clean up what they say. No one is willing to liable themselves for the boss. Making money is one thing. Going to jail is another story. Rmoney might duck jailer, but his cohorts will never be so lucky. Even the statement from Bain saying he was retired as of 1999 is a generic letter. The writer's name was not mentioned.

Romney is arrogant enough to believe the American people won't care what he did and don't care he won't tell us what is wants to do as president.

All of those guys shake each others hands and smile and offer tiny chit chat. Not with Rmoney. They hated him and they let everyone in the media know it. They said it over and over. He gave them the creeps. He gives everyone the creeps. He's a fucking creepy assed man.

He has said that the attacks on Bain "vilify all of business." He will lie for Romney but I look forward to seeing someone answer some tough questions for once about Baingate.

He's also a Rmoney campaign contributor. He might say something wrong, but it won't be on purpose. He believes the way we are now with the majority of the wealth at the top 1% means our system is working and we need to stop whining.

So I wouldn't get your hopes up, I'd bet that Ed is going to do just as Mitt wants. Lie.
